    Just use 1/2 c sour cream for 1/2 c of the liquid the cake mix directions call for (usually water). Mix the sour cream in the water and them pour into the cake mix and eggs and beat as directed.

    omg this one is amazingly chocolatey!!! its absolutely to die for!!!

    1 (18.25 ounce) package devil’s food cake mix
    1 (5.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
    1 cup sour cream
    1 cup vegetable oil
    4 eggs
    1/2 cup warm water
    2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    In a large bowl, mix together the cake and pudding mixes, sour cream, oil, beaten eggs and water. Stir in the chocolate chips and pour batter into a well greased 12 cup bundt pan.
    Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until top is springy to the touch and a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool cake thoroughly in pan at least an hour and a half before inverting onto a plate If desired, dust the cake with powdered sugar.

    make the cake using the boxes directions and then use this frosting.

    Chocolate-Sour Cream Frosting
    2 cups powdered sugar
    1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 pinch salt
    6 ounces cream cheese
    3 ounces unsalted butter
    9 ounces bittersweet chocolate (melted and cooled)
    3/4 cup sour cream

    sift together powdered sugar, cocoa, and salt. With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream-cheese and butter until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed to low. gradually add sugar mixture; mix until combined. mix in melted and cooled choclate and then sour cream; scrape down sides of bowl and continue beating until smooth. makes 4 cups.
